Story
2018: Celebrations for Christmas: Messengers of Hope have ended, but we're not done here! Meia conjures a shower of fireworks and New Year's revelers, who all declare a Happy New Year for 2018! Meia and Echo are particularly excited to celebrate Wol just before they send him off... to fight more fiends, of course. Wol questions if they mean for him not to come back...

2019: Echo is reflecting back on the last year. What a time it's been! A new story is beginning now. There are new friends to meet. Sarah is freed from the System of Palamecia. Meia is freed from her doom of Heresy. Everything has changed.

And Wol? How has he changed? Echo smiles and jokes he's more dour than before! Wol is saddened, slightly, that Echo is no longer around, but she quips that faeries can change, too. Nonethless, she remembers what Wol promised -- no more laws -- and she'll be waiting for him. Wol reiterates that promise.

2020: No story.
